Service went kaput on the east side of Visalia at the tower in back of Visalia Buick/gmc. Looked as I drove by on the freeway, but didn't look like they were working on anything. I can't for the life of me figure out what happened. All other towers I'm connected to are working just fine in Visalia. ?? Maybe they will be working on it today? I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Here we see a rare congregation of feral AT&T trucks, grazing in their native habitat behind the dollar store and recycling place. I did not dare stop my car, for your average AT&T truck start

On the plus side, I found a permit for the tower on woodland at walnut for Sprint. Looks like it was dated 4/26! I'm a happy camper now. Work should start next month in Visalia!

Tulare County's building permit page kept throwing errors at me today. Of course, I don't know all the parcel numbers for the Sprint towers outside the city of Visalia. :(

Use the GIS parcel viewers. That's the method I use for county permit searches.

Up until today I didn't even know the city of Visalia had a GIS map. When I get home from work I will do more searching for city permits. I'm excited!

I see that the tower at 1401 Caldwell in Visalia had a Sprint permit filed on 4/26/13. The description contains the magic words:

 

INSTALL 2 NEW EQUIP. CABINETS, 3 NEW PANEL ANTENNAS, AND MISC EQUIP.

 

Yeah buddy. One of my clients is directly beneath that tower.

Here is the official status of permits for the 4 Visalia towers. 1401 w Caldwell is approved, not issued. 5600 w Tulare and 1919 S Woodland are listed as CR, which I assume is some kind of review status. And 1015 E Acequia, which I previously thought was the tower behind Visalia Buick/GMC, is issued, and service went dead on that tower Friday at 12:30 pm. It was still dead at 5:30pm.

Killer. How did you find those filings?

 

:ninja:  One of the many perks of Sponsorship. I zoomed into the closest I could on the site map for this market, and then I found the coordinating parcel on the Visalia GIS map, and then found the building permit on the city of Visalia permit page. The contact is the same for all 4 towers. Name is Lisa, and 3 of them have Sprint in the name alongside Lisa's. Now if Tulare County's online permit page would work properly, I could get more for Tulare County. I will start searching the other cities in the county and see what I can find. :D

City of Visalia doesn't give you the ability to enter parcel numbers. The GIS maps give parcel and address number.

Very clever, people. Here's the only one I've located so far for clovis, and I'm not sure it's even for Sprint.

Thats Sprint and get rid of the link. Sponsor info.

 

Tim Page also does applications for upper central valley sites as well.

I already have the Visalia sites on a spreadsheet. I think we can build a joint effort spreadsheet, and I'll host the map through Batchgeo.

 

Also, you need to edit the quote and redact the site ID link in your post. :)

Should I get rid of the address in the pic, too?

No, the address is fine. That's public information. Anyone can get that. Just the site ID number.

Here is the link to the Permit map for the Lower Central Valley thread. If you are not a sponsor, and would like to view the map, please consider giving a donation to the cause. At the bottom of the original post is a link to the spreadsheet the map is based off of, and all who click it can contribute to the building of the map. I will try to update the map every night, but only if there are new permits added to it.

I added your permit find to the spreadsheet, and will update the map tonight. Thanks! If you find anymore, please feel free to add them.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
